We don’t know what the situation with Covid 19 will be in Puglia next year but based on our experience in 2020 we are hopeful that the opportunities to visit Puglia will be plentiful.
Despite the Italian borders remaining closed until June 3rd 2020, our visitors who were able to travel to Puglia enjoyed their stay here. As one regular guest put it “It’s the best place to be, we can be outside, everything is open, apart from the wearing of masks and being sensible, Puglia is just like it always has been.”
This is what visitors to Puglia were either required or advised to do in 2020, we anticipate that it will be pretty much the same in 2021.
These requirements had to be complied with by everyone planning on travelling into Puglia, whether from another Italian region or from an EU or Schengen country.
2020 Travel to Puglia – the requirements
The main requirement was to register with the Puglia Region and provide information about when and where you are travelling from and where you are staying.
In addition to registering your presence, or intended presence, in Puglia, for the first thirty days of your stay, you need to keep a list of places visited and people met. Presumably, this means people you spend time with, friends, family and other relatives. If you use location services on your mobile phone, keep the phone with you at all times. This could then help with the list of places visited.
It is also highly recommended that if you download the Italian Track and Trace Contact App, Immuni.
